Problem is, it doesn't open so it's not in memory or listed in Task Manager. Windows Report.wer file may have clues? If so, I have 68 of 'em from 11/1/20 to 5/9/21. Report.wer

A clue for sure. Still hard for me to get used to.

Sorry, by Fail to Open I meant initially opening CbB when another program is using any type of audio source.

On build 155 I get similar issues. The menu is above the FX bin and there's a ghosted border outside of it (red arrow in pic). The mouse highlight acts goofy when the cursor is inside this border. IOW, the highlight starts out above the cursor then aligns right when the cursor reaches the menu window.

The collapse button (<</>>) works for this, but it would be less confusing if the Synth buttons were still there. Especially when the Synth Rack is the only window open in the Browser.

For me, in these 2 cases, the Task Manager trick never works. Usually requires shutting it all down with a system reboot. Sometimes the (initial) Fail to Open scenario can be fixed by closing the offending program which releases the audio. (Edited)

Currently obsolete. Tabs are leftovers from when the synth rack was part of the Browser. A while back they separated it from the Browser even tho it's still tied to it. Confusing for sure when collapsed. I would have preferred they left it as-was and made each tab draggable out to it's own floating window instead of just the synth rack.

It will also (initially) fail to open after the splash screen if ANY other program is using ANY other sound device. This and the OP's issue have been a constant feature set shared by NO other DAW or program. ? "Exclusive control" is deactivated. This and the OP are my most requested fixes before any other feature or bug fix. (Edited)

This happens when the 2 screens are scaled differently in Display Settings with CbB on screen 2. Did not happen before 2021.04.

Not here.

I'm not aware of a way to do that. You can display other tracks by highlighting the track numbers and they will be darker than the focused track.

Stuck key... ?

When using CbB 2021.04 on a 2nd monitor, the Insert > Soft Synth dropdown File menu floats on the 1st monitor. It doesn't stay with the program.

New File Menu Issue When using CbB on a 2nd monitor, the Insert Softsynth dropdown File menu floats on the 1st monitor. It doesn't stay with the program.

It's on the "Large" module but not the "Small" one. "Go To Start (RTZ)" Not sure why they call it that. RTZ = return to zero. ?

Curious what they'll do when the Inspector Header is no longer big enough to add icons for all the stuff they keep adding to it. ? Maybe it's time for a 3rd collapsible view. p17: According to the PURPLETRATOR test, "Export" will always be written in White. So we are constrained somewhat in our design choices. Also, even though there are 5 slides in the element, only the first one is used. The button does not change when clicked, only the menu appears. There's a few like this. Not sure why they don't carry thru on some of these buttons. They did fix one a while back after I mentioned it's spring had sprung. I think any new function should also be color customizable now that it's a thing.

To clarify: Wide EQ Plot screen is located under ProChannel Narrow EQ Plot is located under Console View | Modules | ProChannel Would like to see minor inconsistencies like this remedied.

@Starship Krupa Thanks for doing this! The list of Colors in Preferences is a carryover from the pre-X series and many are now "broken" (non useable or misapplied). The documentation list you linked to is now incomplete and contains colors no longer listed. If colors are important to a theme you can set them how you like and create (export) a color list for that theme. Cakewalk & Theme Editor both contain left-over, non-used graphics from previous Sonar versions as well.

Right about the CA2A. Was curious about the new PC2A vs. the X1 PC2A version. I sus-pect it's a reissue. Edited

I have the PC2A which was offered with Sonar X1 PE (2012). I also have the CA-2A (2016) which has added features. Registration codes were in my Products page. Is this new PC2A any different than the X1 version?

If your interface has multiple inputs, select the one in CbB's track input you want to record from. If your interface only has one stereo input visible in CbB, you won't be able to do it because all tracks will play thru that input.

... or perhaps add a flyout extension to one side of the channel strip like ProChannel does, so adjacent strips aren't covered up.

Download "Everything" and use it to search each HDD for ".cwp". Windows search is slow and often very incomplete. "Everything" is good at finding everything!
